Flying Into St. Louis  // Hayden Carruth

It is socked in. Can’t see a thing. Nor have I ever seen it before except once, driving east, when I passed through at night over the great river and saw lights and the tremulous arch like a phantasm through my off window. I was fighting sleep, alone and desperate, as Americans so often are. Yet my grandfather lived here. I never saw him either and my mother saw him only once after she was two years old, which was when he and my grandmother divorced in 1898 in New York City -- a rarity then. Years later my mother said, “He was a seedy businessman in St. Louis.” That’s all. A manufacturer of brandied cherries or souvenir ash trays? I don’t even know his name. But seedy enough he was to beget my mother, and thus one-quarter of my blood flowed from his veins, one-quarter of my genes came from his testicles. Is that where the madness came from then, the pain, the desperation? For sixty-five years I’ve blamed my mother and father, I’ve climbed their trees and lopped off their branches, I’ve held their words in my mind like cudgels. And it all may have been done by the stranger from St. Louis whose name I do not know. I walked through the thronged corridor of the fog-bound terminal alone and desperate and boarded the plane to San Francisco.
